Lurching from one T20 to another
After the Indian Premier League, the ICC World Twenty20 has been like a breath of fresh air. Sort of like escaping from Dante's Inferno (think Eyjafjallajökull with cheerleaders and DLF Maximums) and entering the Garden of Eden (with its Guyana wing being a rainforest).

Twitted assistor, Part Five: We're not gonna take it any more
For a variety of reasons I didn't do a normal cricket blog after Boxing Day 2009. I continued to pass comment on Twitter over the past month, however, and over the past few days I have been summarising, with annotations, my cricket-related tweets between December 27 and the present. Some tweets have been omitted for reasons of clarity or sanity, none have been internally edited.

Threes in the IPL
In the "smash or crash" mentality of the mutant strain of Twenty20 called the Indian Premier League, I was curious to see how many scoring shots in the current IPL have been worth three runs.
